Union Minister and Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) leader Vijay Goel on Thursday, 2 May, said that 14 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs want to leave the party as it has steered away from its objectives.
Goel was replying to the allegations levelled by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal who had said on 1 May that the BJP was trying to buy AAP MLAs, offering them Rs 10 crore each.
Refuting the allegations, Goel said, "14 AAP MLAs want to leave the party because the party has gone astray from its objectives but the BJP does not need to buy these MLAs. Allegations of the BJP offering Rs 10 crores are false."
"In the past three days, seven of our MLAs have told us that BJP has approached them and has offered Rs 10 crore each to buy them. They want to break our MLAs, this doesn't suit Prime Minister Modi," Kejriwal had alleged.
